NORTHBROOK, IL USA – Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago is pleased to announce that agents and staff from the firm’s Northbrook office, in conjunction with the Kindness Foundation, BHHS Chicago’s philanthropic arm, chose two different charitable organizations to help during this year’s Community Kindness initiative.
First, they held a month-long food donation drive and collected 357 items including non-perishable food items, toiletries, cleaning supplies, paper goods and other necessities for the Northfield Township Food Pantry and the West Deerfield Township Food Pantry.
Second, 11 agents and staff volunteered at Feed My Starving Children in Libertyville, Illinois. FMSC is a nonprofit organization that hand-packs nutritious MannaPack® meals specifically designed to assist in reversing and preventing undernutrition. Together, the group packed 75 boxes that held 6,200 meals that will feed 44 kids for a year.
Katie Roberts, vice president and managing broker of the firm’s Northbrook office, said, “Community Kindness is a special time of year for company and offices. Our Northbrook agents and staff really wanted to help the food insecure, so they chose two different activities to try to make a difference. Our food drive, with generous donations from the community, helped the Northfield Township Food Pantry and the West Deerfield Township Food Pantry. Volunteering at Feed My Starving Children is a really great experience because you learn quickly how great the need is and how much of an impact you can make. I’d like to thank the community for their support of our food drive and the Northbrook Kindness Foundation Ambassadors Carla Visoky and Diane Barr for all of their assistance coordinating both events.”
The Kindness Foundation is Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago’s philanthropic arm. A 501(c)(3) charitable organization, their mission is to support meaningful local initiatives that improve the communities the company serves and enhance the quality of life for fellow citizens.
